The Bear report by thyra heder

7/16/2020

1 Comment

 
This book starts out with a shoddily done report on bears.  The main character writes:
"They are big."
"They eat things." and
"They are mean."

She is in for a surprise when a polar bear shows up in her room and declares that not all polar bears are mean.  He then takes  her out a tour of his habitat.  The pictures are stunning.  This would be a great book to show students what NOT to do for a report and what TO DO for a report.  The story is touching and informational.

What a touching story this is.  The plot line is intriguing and students can learn a bit about Hanukkah, too.  A boy is going to America and after a crash, finds himself alone on an iceberg.  A bear comes and their relationship develops.  This book talks about miracles and has a great surprise ending.

Themes: sacrifice, positivity, friendship, and courage ​

    I love books so much!  My particular loves are children's books and professional books that catch my fancy.  One thing that keeps me happy and sane as a teacher is being able to get tons of books from the library and share them with my students.  I have tried different ways to keep track of my books, but here's another attempt.  We'll se if I can make this one fly!
